Jun 9, 2023 | Announcements

Chambers and Partners, a leading authority recognizing the top law firms around the globe, announced its 2023 USA rankings this week, and WR Immigration has again been recognized among the top corporate immigration law firms in the country.

Leading the firm and the immigration industry once again is Managing Partner Bernie Wolfsdorf, who has been top ranked as an Eminent Practitioner. Wolfsdorf is the only attorney to achieve this distinction by Chambers USA in 2023.

Further cementing the firm’s status among top corporate immigration law firms, Bernie was also ranked as an Eminent Practitioner in California, where he was joined once again by Partner David Fullmer, who garnered recognition as a ranked attorney in the state.

In addition, WR Immigration’s lineup of offices in California: San Diego, Santa Monica, Los Angeles, Oakland and San Francisco, won the firm recognition in the state for Chambers’ California rankings, a distinction that the firm has accomplished now 18 consecutive years.

WR Immigration’s commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility continues to stand out among top corporate immigration law firms, as Chambers’ Diversity and Inclusion arm also recognized the firm this year, shortlisting WR as a “Environment and Sustainability: Outstanding Firm.”

Finally, the firm was once again ranked among top corporate immigration law firms for USA-Nationwide, the third year that the firm was recognized in this nationwide category, showing that WR’s tremendous growth paired with continued excellence is garnering sustained recognition on the national stage. In Chambers’ own words, “[WR] is an ever-growing immigration boutique… The firm has a very diverse practice and is capable of doing it all.”
